This Week's Bulletin

2026-08-16

Pastor's Note

Fr. Showreddy reflects on the Canaanite woman's encounter with Jesus, highlighting three key lessons: her love for her child that enabled her to persist despite rejection, her faith that transformed from seeing Jesus as a wonder worker to worshiping him as Lord, and her unshakable persistence that refused to accept 'no' for an answer. He encourages parishioners to grow in love and faith, trusting that unanswered prayers mean God has something better planned.
